From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I forgot to check the size of the sourced png for the logo. I had to login via tui & delete the file. It was silly. Much better now with better icon.

Edit: I'll grab a pic soon of the fixed one. It's better 😄

Could you have plugged it into a 4k monitor instead?

I ain't got monitor money.

This post just gave me flashbacks to when I was trying to make a custom Plymouth boot logo on QubesOS and kept having to restore from backup after bricking.

But hey, at least eye strain won't be an issue for your lxdm now
